negro named Thomas Guy has been
noticed calling around at houses and pri-
vate rooms, having upon his arm a largo
hamper basket. Yesterday morning an
officer stopped him and examined his bas-
kct. He found that it was a pcrambulat-
ing saloon. Within the basket were two
large bottles Of whiskey, four vino glasses,
a bowl Of sugar, bottle eff bittors and tea
spoons. There was also tin bucket of
water and towel. In the bottom of the
basket was a wooden frame with holes, in
to which the bottles, glasses, sugar bowl,
&c., were fitted. The outfit was complete,
and the liquor sold was of tho best lie
disdaned selling such horrid mixtures as
a.,aric, and his straight rye and cocktails
were as fine as could be obtaiced at any
saloon in New York city. Guys home
was examined and fifty jugs of whiskcy
were found therein. The negros out fit was
not large, but wa> complete in every ro
spect, and ho was probably supplying
large number of regular customers, and
making quito handsome revenue

cd for life twelve years . 'iSs,'G ago for Killing
Barney Lamb. Kelly writes:
Unfortunate Barney Lamb was my near
neigh hbor. We became involved in u
quarrel and fight. Before we commenced
to isht had my cavalry sword with me,
which | gave to my wife to take
to the house, but she did not, and
when Lamb had me BY the hair and held
my head opposite his waist, my wife, sup
posing he would do me bodily harm, cI ell
to him let him 60, at the same time showing
him from me, and that WAS the time the
fatal wound was given with the sword.
But tho sword was not in my hands. | did
not divulgG this fact at the trial. for ! had
no fear Of being convicted, as | knew did
not Kill Lamb, and | was moved by Il more
powerful incentive, most sacred to me, next
to ny God She was my wife, mother f
my children, and loved her.
Kelly served in the lac war. His prison
record is good.
